bigjohnson51 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 This year I decided that I was going to get a job at Worlds of Fun as a Screamster. This was truly one of the coolest experiences I've had in my short lifetime. There aren't many people who can say that their first job was in a haunted house. I decided that I was going to work in their new maze this year called Bloodshed. The Worlds of Fun website described it as "Processing at the Old MacDonalds Slaughter House gone horribly wrong." It is one of two new attractions for their Halloween Haunt this year, the other being CarnEvil a haunted midway with clowns and crazy carnies. I am so glad that I decided to work in Bloodshed. The people were great. Not the freaks that I was expecting. Our house won "Attraction of the Year," and "Maze of the Year," edging out Lore of the Vampire in the last night. These picture are from three days of work. The pictures at first are a little crappy but they will get better as the update progresses. The first night I was using a crappy disposable camera, the second night I brought my normal digital, but I was having camera issues, and the last night, the night with the most pictures, turned out pretty well. I promise it gets better over time!!! Well enough of me talking let's get to the exciting part! Just bare with me, this is my first trip report. So any pointers would be appreciated That's all I have from day one. The next update will feature some actualy pictures of the house! Just be patient. Beej loves ghosts! I copied Beej! This is what Beej looked like after he took off his mask and not make-up. Here is a full body shot of me in costume. I originally had overalls, but these disappeared quickly! This is me in my costume after I sweated off my make-up. Here is a scene in the saw room. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out what that saw does... A pig and his bone. Amanda took pictures of everyone off of her laptop. Time for work Beej! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youthink? Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I'm going to try to work in a haunted house next year, sounds like so much fun! Bloodshed was my favorite one I think, or the Asylum. It was kind of weird how it was in Camp Snoopy, me and my family were running around looking for it for like a half an hour, and when we got there there was no line! I think I remember you, were you next to the pig room? That pig sprayed me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohnson51 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Here is my second day of work. This update will include some pictures in Bloodshed itself! Enjoy! That's the end of the second day. It was a good night! "Leave me alone, I want to go home!" Stellajean and I after it was all said and done. I look gigantic in this picture. This guy came through the night before... This makes me snicker everytime I read it! This is a picture that turned out! Beej's sheep mask actually looks pretty cool here! If only he had on his wig... This is Stellajean. She's going to show up in a lot of pictures so get used to her. She's kind of a camera whore! This turned out alright. I'm eating me some chicken in the chicken room! This was really freaking people out when they came through. I really wish this hadn't come out blurry! This would have been a great picture!!! ARGH! You can get a good idea of his mask in this one... It's about here when I get angry with my camera and he decides to go blurry on me. But this is Beej in full costume. Love me some bunny hops. Here is a shot of Mamba from our break area. You've got to love the Mike Vick humor! Here is a small portion of the outdoor section. No that is not a real outhouse so don't use it! We've got chickens! And yes, they are real! This pig is pretty cool if you ever get to see it in action! Front of the barn. Welcome to Bloodshed! May I slaughter you? The first thing I see when I walk into the park is the Mamba King getting his groove on in the white shirt. On a side note the old guy in orange is also gettin it! We are totally hauling ass at this point! I was tempted to stop by and trade Beej in for a hot chick from Sweden, but we would have been more late than we already were. This photo took about 10 takes! It's supposed to be me stopping suddenly. We had to rush to get to work after Quizno's and we run into road construction. We crawled the rest of the way to work. We began or journey with a quick stop by Quizno's for Beej. I had already ate, so I was jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you came on a Saturday chances are that was me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohnson51 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Ok so now I am on what I thought was going to be my last day of work, so I took a lot of pictures. Since I have so many I'll break them up a little bit. But on this update You will get to see what I do from 3:00 to 7:00... absolutly nothing! And yes that is what expected of me. This job was totally awesome! I shaved it off for him. Hey, what else are friend for? That's part one of the last day. More to come! At least he grooms it... :/ Stellajean grabbed hold of the camera!!! Run for cover! This picture make me look like I could kick some serious ass! Bring on Chuck Norris, I'll be throwing stunner's left and right! I found a wig and decided to show the camera what I've got! This wig raised my sex appeal by like 100% Someone get this man some tums! My old friend did something that made me laugh. A little kid cut in line and he said that this is what happens whenever someone cuts in line. Needless to say, he went to the back of the line. These are the first people I see after walking through the entrance. A really good friend that moved to a new high school and I hadn't seen in a while. He was there with his girlfriend. It was nice to see them. Mr. Creativity taking a picture of himself. Patriot and a mirror! Ohhh Ahhh I take that back this picture isn't really taking a picture of anything... Beej is getting better at taking pictures of roller coasters. He even snuck a train into this picture! I almost ran into the median taking this picture so you better enjoy it!!! Beej forgot his deoderant from the other day. I have no idea why he brought it into my truck in the first place... at least it's not as annoying as his guitar! Where all of our city money went into to "beautfy the city." Yes that blue thing! Yes Beej you guessed it! *HUGE* picture day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohnson51 Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Ok it's been a while since my last update but here I am again! I'm just going to do a quick update on me getting locked out on the balcony, then I'll go int the maze itself in the update folliwing this one. Let's get it on! I will end this update with Stellajean pissed! Alright I will post pictures of the maze itself shortly. Kirsten tried to get me out too, so I gotta give her love for that. Amanda is my hero for letting me in!!! I couldn't thank her enough. Wolves have feelings too I slipped into depression... They really are enjoying this... :/ Ah that's better. Here is an exteme zoom of my face! Here I am taking a picture of the a$$holes who wouldn't let me in. They had fun laughing at me and making fun of me I called my friends who were at the park and told them to come look at me locked out on the balcony. They pointed and laughed. Two trains... ya that's right! Here is the outdoor section of the maze. This is the ball pit. This is the best attraction of the park. I went in there and played for two hours last year. Then when I tried to do it another time I was "too big." It kind of broke my heart to be told that. Here is some Mamba cresting the second hill. Le Taxi Tour... From the balcony!!! So here are some pictures of my ass getting locked out on the balcony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Looks like your version of Blood Shed is much more elaborate than KD's (which does feature a fartiing horse--when it works). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohnson51 Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Ha a farting horse? Please tell me it sprays you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 ^Nah--just farts (but you can feel the breeze). He didn't seem to be working when I was there, though (maybe he's changed his diet or started using Beano). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohnson51 Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Alright here comes the good stuff. Pictures in the house! Enjoy. Amber finally got the coursge to touch my mask! That's it for this update. Still to come is my mini-update of my trip to Halloweekends, random pictures of me in make-up without the mask, and maybe some random pictures other people took. That right there, is the reason I'm scary. Hell ya! Check out my rad mustache thing... Briant, Amanda, and Carissa at costumes. Spinning Dragons at night. I love breaktime! Amanda 2 Me taking a picture of Stephanie taking a picture of Laursen! That might be a good idea! Whoa look at those pit stains Laursen! Laursen is still quite sick. Ok I look creepy as hell in this picture. Too bad Stellajean had to ruin it!!! Argh Here I am full tilt! Gimmie that arm! High Five! Chelsie, Sydney, and Coreen This was originally suppossed to be a picture of Jason (Jive), but then Amanda came around the corner. They almost bumped into each other, and I caught an awkward moment on film! Oh, and check out coastercommunity.com Jason runs a great website there! Coreen Brian is the man that got "Screamster of the Year." He rocks. This is our group meeting before we start. Here is a picture of us. A lot of them are boosters, but the ones in the middle are people that worked in there regularly. Laursen was really sick this night. Ever wonder what a picture of a strobe light looks like? Well here you go! A peek into the outhouse. This thing moved and looked all cool and whatnot. This is the light that hides me. After Before Mutilated head! 2nd favorite This is everyone's favorite head. Myspace picture. My ass is finally out of that comfortable saw room, and I'm pissed! I love head! Meat! I liked this pig. Ya that was under a heat lamp for about a month and a half lol. I think it's safe to say this guy is having a bad day... We had some coaster enthusiasts too! Beej and Stellajean... still in the saw room... This has to be the worst picture of Beej ever taken! Laursen without a mask =0 If only it sang... Kyle was one of the better Screamsters. This is the very beginning of the maze. I found the highest point of the house and tried to take pictures. They didn't turn out all that great, but it's the thought that counts Stephanie with a handfull of ears, fingers, and eyeballs. Lol I think Beej really enjoyed this view This is my favorite picture of the update. I carefully placed the head and foot while Stellajean gave Beej CPR. I'm not sure if I mentioned it already, but a lot of the Screamsters are lifeguards from Oceans of Fun. Stellajean with a camera... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzCatter Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I really should have went to Halloween Haunt this year, but I saved my money up and went to Orlando for HHN this year(which was worth it) and Disney(which is the greatest thing I've ever done) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohnson51 Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Oh come on Calvin! Everyone knows that one trip through Bloodshed is better than anything HHN and Disney have to offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzCatter Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Oh come on Calvin! Everyone knows that one trip through Bloodshed is better than anything HHN and Disney have to offer! Having several Jasons chase after me at once was well worth it. I wish I could have gotten the Dead Silence and Jack 3D houses done though, time didnt permit.

bigjohnson51 Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 Ok I think I'm going to go ahead and make this my last update. It will show a few pictures from when me and Beej went to check out Halloween Haunt for ourselves on our day off, and Halloween night make-up when I decided to go up and work for the last time! Enjoy! Well that's all she wrote! Thanks for reading my PWR! If you want to see more pics check out coastercommunity.com They have some really good pictures of Bloodshed! Monsters love Chicken McNuggets! Boobies! My friend said I looked like John Cena in this picture... I don't see it. ARGH! Now here are pictures of me with my make-up on Halloween night. I decided not to wear my mask that night, and it was awesome! For the final picture of our trip, I finally got Beej to ride Spinning Dragons! He took it like a little girl and he is never going to ride a roller coaster again... I guess the second part really got him. Me and the dog I won on the Flying Dutchman. She went back in the house and I found her in the saw room with Carissa. We were about to go through Bloodshed when we found Ashleigh! I was trying to make the straw whislting noise. It took me about five minutes to finally get it! Here is Beej and his pasty-self. We went through Camp Gonnagitcha... It was ok... I think we walked through before most of the Screamsters got in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
